Velvet revolver the last fight.....ever:(

I am totally shocked!!!! When I googled to get some information for this review about Velvet revolver in Amsterdam, I came to find that they are breaking up!!! I've just seen their last concert ever:( It is really a shame, cause I hoped to see this great band more often, but obviously that is not going to happen:( Scott Weiland, singer of the band announced at the gig in Glasgow that they were watching a very special show....A show of the last tour of Velvet Revolver. The band had been shocked that moment, but things weren't going very well between the guys. This had been also very obvious on stage. They were a great awesome spectaculair band, one like I've never seen before....but something was missing, and now I know what! They weren't enjoying it!! They didn't smile or looked happy and now I understand why! You should read what these guys have been saying about their bandmates, it's right here in this article: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1583956/20080324/velvet_revolver.jhtml?rsspartner=rssColdFusion Plus, Scott and (I guess some of (or all) of the other bandmates) have serious drugs problems! Scott has just been out of rehad just before this tour! So I guess I should be happy that they didn't cancelled this tour... I think that the biggest problem in their band is....They all have a huge huge HUGE ego!!! And that just doesn't work...If you see them perform, you get the point... Slash is an amazing guitarist, really the best guitarist of the world!!! But the problem is that he knows that makes him stand more in the middle than the Scott does...And that makes him play at least one or two guitarsolos in one song....And that makes him always want to end the song!!....And (I have to say I was in for that) that makes him play a (at least) five minute guitarsolo, which was awesome (btw).....He totally blew the other bandmates away and that is very ego! The question though is....Is it okay what Slash is doing? I mean he is the best guitar player there is, so is he allowed to be have a huge ego?! Tell me what you think! But of course it is not only Slash' fault...Because they are all bandmates from huge former bands:Guns n' Roses, Stone Temple Pilots, they are frustrated that they are not as succesfull as they used to be...I mean they didn't even sold out the show in Amsterdam...Their last ever show! And it is not even a very big hall!!! A lot of people might think that these guys are old farts now, but that is totally not true! They play real rock and roll, I even think that they are better than Guns n' Roses, they are more underground:)They played almost all their best songs, exept for Spectacles:( They even played some of the Guns n' Roses songs like 'Have al little patience'. Slash played on a lot of different guitars, one of them of course the Gibson Les Paul! The start had been weird..After waiting an hour after a strange band called Sons of Aboil (or something like that) they finally arrove on a hip hop song:P Well they set it straight after that point...They are a selection of the best bandplayers of the world, so sure they make technical awesome music!The sound in the beginning wasn't very good, but that wasn't their fault. The crowd had been very boring and old...(I'm sorry..) The band seems not to attract the youth a lot...But I think that has not to do with their music, their music is ageless, original and energetic...I think it has to do with their attitude, Velvet Revolver is the kind of band, you expect trouble of! They have huge ego's, do not smile a lot, and seem to have not a lot of interest in what they are doing...The youth seems to chose performances above music these days and I think bands just have to go with that! We like to see hot young Ian Watkinskindofmen with nice clothes, movements, smiles and especially pleasure on stage. But I am really going to miss Velvet revolver and I will play their record again and again and again and again and..... Well...It did surprised me that yesterday they didn't say anything about that this would be their last show, should we still have a little hope? I hope so...

This is a part of the awesome solo Slash played, I've never heard such a great guitarsolo in my life before....

Slashhhh.....

The best guitarist of the world if you'd ask me.... The sound, the technic, the guitar..He is brilliant!!Next week I will see him in concert together with Velvet Revolver. I think that this is one of his best guitarsolos, the one in the end. You should check it out yourself....

Here it is: NOVEMBER RAIN from Guns and Roses

Best guitarist...

What would be the best guitarist of the year 2007? Well, I am not very original with this one... But I have to say... Slash! This guitarist from Velvet Revolver used to play for Gun´s and Roses! His real name is Saul Hudson, he is 42 years old and he knows how to make the guitar cry....He plays with a characteristic sound on his Les Paul guitar, I love the sound of his guitar!!! Although he is drunk most of the time that he plays, he still manage to be one of the most powerfull guitarists of all... I can´t wait till the concert of Velvet Revolver on the first of April! It will be awesome!!!! His best guitarsolo? Well, that has to be the one in November rain...

Some awesome concerts...

After a dark time, with not more than one nice concert a month, the sun is getting up again! When I checked the incredible site that is always able to tell me what gigs I should go to, I saw a fresh new list of awesome gigs I have to go to! It is just like some people say as an excuse to buy clothes: 'The dress, o my god! it was begging me to buy him!!! Please take me home!' Well that is how the gigs at the site were looking as me as well... I just have to go!! Do you wanna know what bands are coming to the Netherlands? Even if you don't wanna know, I'm gonna tell you anyway;) Well, The Wombats are coming! I absolutely love them! They make cheerful britpop, with funny lyrics;) I have seen them twice on london calling (a festival with upcoming britpop bands) and you just couldn't resist loving them, with their energetic performance, accapella songs (like postman pat) and the never ending smile of the bassist;) A gig from the Wombats means lots and lots and lots of fun!! You should check them out: http://www.myspace.com/thewombatsuk no...you really really really must check them out;) Oo and a legend is coming to Amsterdam! Velvet Revolver!! Velvet revolver makes totally different music than the Wombats. I think you can it call hard-rock, or something like that! You probably know this already, but Velvet Revolver is half of Guns and Roses (also a very great band I think)! For example Slash is in it! Woow I think Slash is the best guitarist ever! He plays sooo incredibly good it always gives me a shiver, when I hear one of his guitar solos! Have you ever heard november rain from guns and roses? I never really listened good to it, until yesterday. That song is sooo amazing!! It starts a little bit soft, then a slowly but incredible solo comes up, the song gains more power due to that and when you think the song ends....Some piano starts playing and an incredibly amazingly awesome solo comes up and the song becomes heavy. Well I was very surprised and I have to say that I have never heard a song before with such a great structure! I have never seen Velvet Revolver before, so I can't wait untill the first of april!http://www.myspace.com/velvetrevolver A week after that the Rifles come to The Netherlands. They are very nice, with their catchy britpop thats sticks in your head forever;) I've seen them twice, one time on london calling and one time on lowlands (the biggest festival in the Netherlands). Check them out! And especially the song local boy! http://www.myspace.com/therifles You might know 30 seconds to mars... No? Well, but you know Jared Leto don't cha;)? Jared Leto is an actor and singer of the very famous band 30 seconds to mars! This band is coming here on the ninth of februari:) I love this band, and not only because of Jared Leto (like a lot of girls do..). 30 seconds to mars makes, well what should I call it.., hard-rock? emo? Maybe I should just call it very nice music! They have their own army of fans, make a real impressive American performance and have magical lyrics. Once you have heard the deep and meaningful voice of Jared Leto, I promise you, you can't stop listening anymore. And if that doesn't make you listen to it, well you should take a look into his eyes... It is like they curse you so you will never be able to forget 30 seconds to mars...
